Sacramento Democratic Party spokesman Allan Brauer
is out of a job after tweeting out some pretty nasty comments
to a staffer for U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), according to
CBS Sacramento.

Amanda Carpenter, a speechwriter and communications director for
Cruz, tweeted Friday that the "GOP beat gun control, changed
Obama's mind on Syria, is holding the line on amnesty. We can
defund Obamacare, too!"

Brauer, who was serving as the county's communications chair,
responded not only with wishing for her children's death, but
that it also be "painful."

Here's the tweet:

After a number of people replied and started attacking him, he
doubled down:

Despite his apology, there was a substantial backlash. The
Democratic Party of Sacramento
called for and accepted Brauer's resignation.

“The comments by our volunteer communications chair are
appalling and inexcusable," said DPSC chair Kerri Asbury in a
statement. "No matter what our political disagreements may
be, wishing harm is never an acceptable response
during heated public debate or any other time. Mr. Brauer
has apologized for his comments and expressed his
remorse.”
